Sumptuous And Simple Summer Vegetable Recipe

When the tomatoes and summer squash are producing faster than you seem to be able to keep up with, it pays to have a simple recipe or two handy to use the abundance that Mother Nature has given you. Here is one of my favorites.

Summer Vegetable Medley

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb. yellow summer squash, sliced
  • 1 large or two medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 bunch of green onions, sliced
  • 1 large bell or 3 to 4 regular sized banana peppers, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 tsp salt or 1 tsp non-salt seasoning mix
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper 
Heat oil in large skillet. Saute squash for a couple of minutes then add the pepper chunks. After a couple of minutes more add the green onions. When the other vegetables are tender, add  the sugar, salt/non-salt seasoning, pepper and tomato wedges and stir well. Lower the heat and cover the skillet. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes more  stirring occasionally. Season to taste and then serve. This is great over white rice!
